Gary Bauer the very odd looking son-in-law of Rushdoony, popularly known as the Grandfather of Dominionism
Glenn Beck Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that there are enough people out there who think that Beck even has enough common sense to not only write a book about it – but hit #1 on Amazon AND the NY Times Bestseller list? Now THAT’s scary!
Ken Blackwell Ken Blackwell is the Senior Fellow for Family Empowerment at the Family Research Council, and the Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow for Public Policy at the Buckeye Institute in Columbus, Ohio. Blackwell is a evangelical dominiionist that “accidentally” released Social security numbers of approximately 7 million Ohio residents not once – but twice! And ONE of the lawsuits filed against him was over disenfranchisemenet of voters and suspiscion of foul play in the Ohio vote count during Dubya’s prez run.
Rep. Roy Blunt he’s such a typical Political Dominionist (PD) that he’s BORING!
Rep. John Boehner Ick – just ick!…and another PD
Gov. Jeb Bush Bush – enough said
Herman Cain Herman Cain (born December 13, 1945) is a conservative African-American newspaper columnist, businessman, politician and radio talk-show host fromGeorgia.

Dr. Ergun Caner Muslim turned PD, calls President Obama an ‘infidel’, loves, loves, loves Sarah Palin! Thinks we need to ‘arm’ kids for battle…nice
Rep. Eric Cantor boring PD…whatever happend to that new GOP Club he and his friends started – the Council for a New America? That’s just how much pizzaz he has…none. It has dropped off the radar.
Sen. Tom Coburn Senator John Ensigns personal gynecologist and confidante
Sen. John Cornyn Senator COWBOY (and this was a real honest to God campaign video that he approved - “Doin’ the Lord’s work for Texas”…PuLEASE! 
Jim Daly el presidente and God’s self-appointed CEO of Focus on the Family – who surprise, surprise – resides in Colorado Springs – Ground Zero for the “Chosen Ones”…
Sen. Jim DeMint He’s just an abomination – latest DeMint quote? Remember now, he is a loving, caring, kind Christian…”‘If we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.” Isn’t it nice to know that his heart is there for all of us who are screaming out for Health Care reform? What an asshole! 
Lou Dobbs Obsessively, fixated, consumed by his hatred toward immigrants…and how to keep them out. He was born in Texas, and later lived in Arizona…hence the hatred of Mexicans. But does he feel the same way about Canadians? After all, he lived in Idaho too – and that’s another border state!
Ed Feulner Head Sanctimonious Hancho over at the Heritage Foundation who profit very nicely on the backs of Sheeples who fund their ongoing efforts to train interns to fellowship in congress and work to MARRY CHURCH & STATE!
Sean Hannity a waste of space
David Horowitz Chip Berlet accused Horowitz of blaming slavery on “‘black Africans … abetted by dark-skinned Arabs’” and of “attack[ing] minority ‘demands for special treatment’ as ‘only necessary because some blacks can’t seem to locate the ladder of opportunity within reach of others,’ rejecting the idea that they could be the victims of lingering racism.” Ugh!
Gov. Mike Huckabee Another “Man of God” who believes that Jesus taught intolerance and a GOP 2012 PD hopeful who doesn’t know whether to kiss Palin’s ass or kick it.
Brit Hume An “ardent Christian” and contributed to the start-up and ’success’ of that lovely Fox News channel that helps all these characters dissiminate hatred, intolerance fear and loathing of all who are not “chosen” and born-again.
Dr. Ken Hutchenson Buddies with the Latvian group “Watchmen on the Walls” anti-homosexual hate organization that promotes violence against gays. Now THAT’s Christian! 
Terry Jeffrey Editor-in-Chief of Human Events. HUMAN EVENTS gives voice to the great conservative thinkers of our era — Newt Gingrich, Michelle Malkin, L. Brent Bozell, Terence Jeffrey, Bruce Bartlett, Thomas Sowell, David Limbaugh, Oliver North, Pat Buchanan and many more.
Gov. Bobby Jindal Aaaahhh…Mr. Excorcist. 
Rush Limbaugh no words…nope…no words
Frank Luntz The lead Spin Doctor of the Fox conservatives…a pollster and all around think tank guy…but if you thump on that tank – it is going to sound awfully empty!
Sen. Mitch McConnell …PD…Party of “No”
Kevin McCullough McCullough’s bio says he has “been called the heir apparent to Dobson and Falwell, by America’s most prolific faith-based writers,” – heady claim. He clearly has no issues with his opinion of himself. The guy hates gays…plain and simple and believes AIDS is God’s wrath against homosexuals….nice….
Ed Meese He currently holds fellowships and chairmanships with several public policy councils and think tanks, including the Constitution Project and the Heritage Foundation…and he was one of Reagan’s evangelical legal beagles.
Kate O’Beirne A conservative “talking head” who wrote, “Women Who Make the World Worse: and How Their Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports”. WOW! Those feminists! 
Bill O’Reilly …whatever
Gov. Sarah Palin What? A speaking engagement? Who woulda thunk? 
Star Parker Parker became a Christian and subsequently became a spokesperson for related political issues. After ending up on welfare as a teen mom, she claims that it is an oppressive program that makes slaves of its recipients and specifically black women…how nice that she was able to benefit from it – and now stumps against it in an effort to deprive others from the help it provides.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty …another GOP 2012 PD hopeful
Rep. Mike Pence Oh look! Here is yet another GOP 2012 PD hopeful
Tony Perkins Tony Perkins is President of the Washington, D.C.-based Family Research Council. Since joining FRC in the fall of 2003 he has launched new initiatives to affirm and defend the Judeo-Christian values that this nation is founded upon. Another one that asserts that America was founded as a Judeo-Christian nation and twists the words and meanings of the founding fathers… 
Gov. Rick Perry Palin’s seccessionist pal and all around boob
Carrie Prejean Malibu Barbie…why in the hell is she even a speaker? Of course that can be asked about everyone of these players…what am I thinking?
Gov. Mitt Romney I wonder when Mitt will be let in on the secret (not) that born-again ‘c’hristians view him as worthless as the rest of us who refuse to convert before the Rapture? 
Joel Rosenberg Touts himself as a story writer of events he claims are biblically based that have an uncanny way of happening after his books are written. Born-again evangelical from a jewish heritage and total “End Times is jsut around the corner” guy.
Lila Rose A student journalist from UCLA and anti-choice crusader Lila Rose has devoted her considerable media savvy to depriving other women of their reproductive rights. Why do they believe that they have the right to interfere in others lives? The arrogance is nauseating.
Phyllis Schlafly The woman who made a career out of crusading against women who have careers – while leaving her children to be cared by others, while she chastised working mothers for not being home with their children – and made a very handsome living along the way. Can you say hyp-o-crite?
Gary Sinise I will never watch CSI again…
Ben Stein “Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place, and science leads you to killing people.” He is pro-life, anti-evolution, smug and lives between Malibu, CA and Sandpoint, Idaho…HEY! Sarah Palin’s hometown…and the once hub of the most racist neo-nazis in America. Interesting for a man whose Jewish relatives suffered under Hitler.
Mark Steyn “Steyn, a self-styled ‘right-wing bastard,’ violates everyone’s sense of good taste.” He is a canadian mouth piece that pokes his crass and vulgar opinions into U.S. politics. For example, he states he is attracted to Sarah Palin’s “naughty librarian vibe”. TMI! (Too much information)
Fred Thompson Worst DA on Law & Order, and cannot think outside a script…laughable
Eduardo Verastegui A Mexican actor (uh-oh Lou Dobbs); anti-choice; anti-gay (and he is so pretty too!); and again – why is he speaking?
Don Wildmon Wildmon founded the National Federation for Decency in 1977, and it was renamed the American Family Association in 1988. Plainly, he is a prude and speaks out against everything and anything he deems offensive such as TV shows like MASH, Three’s Company and Dallas all of yesteryear, Madonna, and on and on. He was a Methodist Pastor and left the pastoral ministry to campaign against pornography and violence in the media. Just look at the guy…
Rep. Michele Bachmann about the only person that can make sarah Palin seem intelligent
Steven Baldwin the picture really kind of says it all don’t ya think?
And as an added bonus…just to make sure that they stir the FEAR and PARANOIA in the sheeples that attend they are going to have a special preview screening of their movie “33 Minutes”. I have attached their 2 minute trailer for you…
An event that any red-blooded bigoted, intolerant, rascist, anti-choice, anti-feminist, Poltical Dominionist, End Times believer, born-again evangelical has just got to put on their calendars as a MUST ATTEND!
So when anyone tells you that these extremists aren’t rallying to aggressively take back seats in 2010 and relentlessly pursuit the White House in 2012…you had better tell them to WAKE UP! This is no joke, even if they are individually….

Ewww! Who knew Phyllis Schlafly was still alive? That's another event that would interesting to infiltrate if a strong-stomach individual could take it, but I imagine it will be widely tweeted, blogged, and YT'd about.
They seem quite motivated to get as many students to attend as possible!
On their website they list these 2009 Breakout Sessions! The only worthwhile one is the one that seems to be about encouraging adopting kids – although I'm sure they'll want you to homeschool those kids with brain washing materials –
* SPEECHLESS – SILENCING THE CHRISTIANS
* THUGOCRACY – FIGHTING THE VAST LEFT WING CONSPIRACY
* DEFUNDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD
* ACTIVISM AND CONSERVATISM: FIT TO A TEA (PARTY)
* THE THREAT OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
* OBAMACARE: RATIONING YOUR LIFE AWAY
* MARRIAGE: WHY IT'S WORTH DEFENDING AND HOW REDEFINING IT THREATENS RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
* THE NEW MASCULINITY
* WAIT NO MORE: FINDING FAMILIES FOR WAITING KIDS
* TURNING THE TIDE IN YOUR GENERATION

Yes…it is history repeating itself. Scary huh? And Palin? Don't forget that though Palin no longer will have an earthly title, she takes her anointed title of Queen Esther the Warrior Prophetess VERY seriously, as do many of the other Political Domionionists in attendance. Her title trumps theirs…in fact she is fellow members with the likes of Phyllis Schlafly (and I agree – I too was surprised to see that Schlafly is still kicking and has remained true to herself right down to the hairdo) in Concerned Women for America, an organization that has a fascination with Queen Esther.
July 24th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Anne, Thank you for adding the list for all to read, good job, the titles lay out the agenda don't they? They really are brazen!
July 24th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Also, I wonder what Dobbs is doing in that company. He seems like such a confused man. He promotes and encourages xenophobia while his wife and mother of his children is Mexican. And here he is joining this Dominionist cabal while he appeared quite appalled at the role of religion in politics and quite sympathetic to the argument of Christopher Hitchens' in this interview – he even implores his audience to buy Hitchens' book God Is Not Great and tells them it is brilliant – what would those fundies say to this?

Oh…they pay! And quite well. They are experts at passing the collection plate! And they all have wares to sell…CD's, books, tickets to the Pearly Gates. When you rule by fear, the sad aspect of this is that it is those who can least afford to 'tithe' that support these frauds. And they collect at these events as well. And…I have no doubt we will be seeing some "pageant walkin'" and don't forget the wave…lol
July 24th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Anne, you raise great questions and thank you for the Hitchens/Dobbs video. You are correct, Dobbs is more than a bit schizophrenic and we may never know what drives him with certainty. The well of twisted and absolute misinformation that is spewed forth by these dominionists has no bottom. They are successful in spreading their version of Paine, Jefferson and Jesus because the bulk of their base habitually refuses to read and learn on their own – relying solely on these self-appointed Phalse Prophets for Profit (as I call them) to spell things out for them. I will continue to say…that an uninformed electorate – regardless of the Party – is one of the most dangerous threats we face. It is this fact that gives the Political Dominionists room to grow, spread and flourish…
July 24th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Nice job, though a frightening line up of crazy. I appreciate your annotations since I didn't know them all.
I stop by daily, but I rarely if ever post. You are doing some very valuable work. Thanks from WA where many people in my neck of the county think these folks are heroes.
July 25th, 2009 at 12:49 am
Quite a line up you have here. Shysters, liars, hypocrites, and haters,all of them. I'm from a city close to Eagle's Landing where Cain lives, but until I saw him on your web site, I didn't know he existed, and I'm glad I didn't. The way these folks pervert Christianity and try to obstruct the rights of others, they deserve each other. This is only another fund-raising effort.
July 25th, 2009 at 12:51 am
If you want to keep up with these "values voters," keep visiting this blog and stroll over to RightWingWatch.org. They are indeed scary. That's why I visit this blog and RWW everyday.
July 25th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Sorry to have to point out that they are in your back yard! And now I have to add Godfather's Pizza to the list of companies that I won't patronize because of Cain…ah well, too many points anyway! lol
But that does bring up the need for yet another "gallery" of sorts – all the businesses who are actually income streams for dominionist coffers. Of course we know the biggies like Amway, Avon, Coors Beer company, Dominoes (that one is subtle isn't it?) and Chick-fil-a. There are many others and I should put that list together because I am a true believer that one person DOES make a difference and that even means where I spend my hard earned money.
And yes…this is another huge fund-raiser!
July 26th, 2009 at 11:47 am
The radical right is once again showing how easily motivated they are by nothing more complicated than simple fear. The republicans tend to be the biggest cowards in any discourse, willfully ignoring facts in favor of ANYTHING that can make them 'feel' safer.
"Republic-on – Apply directly to the intellect

Too bad about Gary Sinise of CSI NY, didn’t know he was a nutjob like the others on this list. Frankly, I have not watched it much since I discovered Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow last fall.
BTW, Alaska Airlines is another business that comes to mind. They had a spokeswoman say that the stage of Sarah Palin's pregnancy was not apparent on the 4-17-08 "Wild Ride". I would much rather hear it directly from the flight attendants who actually saw Palin on 4-17-08 but they would probably be fired.
July 26th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
You silly. All the founding fathers were right in line with the views of the headliners of this conference. Never mind the ugly little details that a lot of them were Deists or Paine actively hated religion, or Jefferson refuted the divinity of Christ. They would have fit right in so shut up! Just shut up! *Sticks fingers in ears* I CAN'T HEEEEEAR YOOOOOOOU! Nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh!
The preceding has been a dramatic re-enactment of how the conference attendees and spokespeople would react if presented with the facts. Had this been an actual encounter with one of them, blood would pour from every orifice of your body as your head imploded from the illogic of their statements, but this was only a test.
July 26th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
My thoughts:
Sarah Palin will cancel, not because she feels the center of attention will not be on her (it would be), or because she feels intimidated by the bona fides of some of the other speakers, but because she feels Carrie Prejean is purtier than she is.
Phyllis Schlafly has been a wonderful tool (ha) for pissing off my right-wing friends with her hypocrisy of making a career out of telling women not to have careers. I tell them that by their logic, she, along with Randall Terry, Alan Keyes, Dick Cheney, Peter Knight, etc. and their spouses must be horrible parents because if they weren't, their kids wouldn't have "turned" gay. When they object to that then I ask them, "So you're saying it's genetic and not influenced by bad parenting?" You can smell the synapses burn as they froth over that.
I feel bad for Glen Beck and Mitt Romney. Yes, everyone will wildly clap and cheer for them, ask for autographs, etc., but as soon as they get off the stage, everyone will be saying, "Oh, the poor dear. I'll pray for him." Which translated from conservative Christian talk means, "He's not a true Christian like the rest of us."
July 26th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Love it! Very good enactments! I so wish I were in a position to be a fly on the wall of this dog and pony show in September…but we are seriously working on finding someone to go on the inside and report back!
July 26th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
LOL!!! Republic-on! That is clever…
Imagine the things we could think of to make disappear…hmmm….
July 26th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
Hey, this is VERy good information! Thank you. BTW, I checked the site out and realized that only a dozen or so of those speakers are actually *CONFIRMED* — The asterisks and fine print reveal the truth.
Meanwhile, it is really important that the rest of us bloggers, writers, readers, etc. keep an eye on our own integrity by using thoughtful words and deeds. These whackjobs sure don't need any new ammo!!!
July 27th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
The speaking commitments are secondary to the actual characters that have been invited. By that I mean that this collection has been selected because they are deemed worthy representatives of "American Values"…and that speaks volumes no matter how many show or no-show. As far as integrity, agreed…but it would be a full time job to edit content based on what they may or may not twist. No matter what is said, if it is contrary to the dominionist agenda – it will be twisted, regurgitated and panned! thank you for you words of appreciation, it means a great deal to me and my fellow researchers as we trudge through this stuff daily!
